I want to offer a little history on my season openers. I opened the season with a 1500 meter swim
followed by a 5K run. My run time was
great and I managed an 8:44 pace. 8:44 is
typically not something to brag about, but I was thrilled to be running under 9
minutes/mile.
My swim times continue to be pretty week. My best 750 meter time to date was 15:12 in
2010. 19:45 would be my worst swim to
date, but I actually started 3:24 behind the pack while I fiddled with my
goggles. I would like to swim 30 minutes
for 1500 meters and work that down to 26:15 for 1500 meters.
It is also time to start thinking harder about
transitions. If I could get my 3 minute
transition down to 1 minute, I will be well poised to break an hour for the
1500 meter – 5K Stroke & Stride.
